With the upcoming racing season marking its 75th anniversary, Nascar is both celebrating its past with a new throwback logo and innovating for the future.

Racing fans will find a lot to appreciate amid the design elements of the new logo. The overall oval shape is reminiscent of a racetrack and was inspired by the brand’s second logo introduced in 1956.
